Mad_Hatter: Many countries outside Europe took part in WW II in one way or other, as well as the USA. Thus, Victory in Europe Day is the international memorable date.

Tanitha: Finance Department has gone ahead in leaps and bounds since release. With the addition of many staff to try and cope with the rush of purchases that was seen on release. Most tickets have now been dealt with and new tickets are now receiving reasonable turn around times..
For problems that require a refund, such as "gold that was purchased on the wrong server" etc. WOT would like to remind you of the importance of obtaining that refund through their Finance/Support Department.
Refunds initiated by the WOT's Support/Finance department, incur 0 fee's..
Charge-backs initiated from the player themselves incur a "playspan"/"ultimate pay system" fee of $25.00
It is there for essential to the player, that if a refund is required it is initiated through WOT's Finance center to save you these "payment provider" fee's.
If you have any issues with billing. Please let them sort it for you with their ticket support system. Link

Tanitha: Schedule is currently down.. Please refer to the schedule on the website when they put it up again, instead of referring to times in this thread.
Just in case something changes.

Vallter: We will reveal a bit of the secret for an important part of the project – a game rule enforcing system. In this article the system for finding botters and leachers is described. The system that struggles with macro- and clicker-programs.
The program used for this by the WG game masters bears the name «GameSession Tracking and Analysing System» and it is made by our programmers in cooperation with a world known Australian IT company.
This antibot-system was successfully implemented in the middle of fall of 2010 and is used now. It has proved its effectiveness in identifying EULA violators, who tried to gain in-game advantages to gain XP and credits without playing the game or by using clicker software.
Our program is an analysing system, that processes the information about game sessions of player’s accounts, logged by the server during every battle played by the user.
The data about all actions performed on a specific account in every battle and some specific information, such as coordinates and the time of movement, the passed distance, the number of enemies detected, the hotkeys using frequency and the activity in the battle chat, as well as consumables usage and some secondary parameters are taken into account automatically. Every listed parameters gets a value, characterizing their activity and successfulness, and then is analysed. As a result every battle, in which the specific account has participated, receives a percentage characteristic that shows the probability of bot software usage.

Received after analysing the game sessions logs for every battle session, percentage characteristic are analyzed again, and the average middle coefficient is calculated, which shows what part of the overall battle amount on the specific account were done not by a user himself, but by a bot- or-macro-software.
This data, received for each account, is listed in the general table, in which the movement trajectories of user’s vehicles during different game sessions are also analysed and the equal and also very similar trajectories are revealed. The end information receives a percentage coefficient, that characterize, how often vehicles of the specific players moves from battle to battle through the same path with the same trajectory.

In the global table the violators are displayed and listed. They have a percentage of bot sessions that exceeds the check value. This protects players, who have a network disconnection or who were forced to stop playing for personal reasons from being banned.
The accounts with unusually high percentage of bot-sessions draw attentions of the game masters, who starts a special investigation and look through game logs of a specific player or enable the automatic personal tracking system. After some time they decide whether the player deserves a ban or not.

ARGO: THREAD MOVED TO "SOVIET LIGHT VEHICLES"

Tanitha: Hi..
Everything important is handled server side, so can not be edited or altered to gain a advantage.
The only edits that can be done client side is to the local graphics which is handled client side, which doesn't effect anything server side.
Currently there is.
1. A tracer alteration, leaving tracer graphics on the screen longer. (already fixed, will be patched in on 6.4)
2. A local graphics edit removing the ground etc. (personally tested, and not found to contain any advantages)
3. Skins/Chams. No real advantage, I personally prefer the legal mods that are freely available for the "ALT button"
These local client side alterations are the only ones I'm aware of (And I do spend a lot of time investigating it).
There is nothing to invis a tank. Except perhaps a buggy spotting system. Which the devs have stated needs a overhaul which they are working on.
Closing the thread. If any real cheats or hacks are ever made in the future, please forward the details to support.worldoftanks.com

ARGO: Here you go...
http://forum.worldof...opic=27881&st=0

ARGO: Yes, Yes, and did I say absolutly YES? 107mm will be the best and most missed gun after your through with KVs. The 107mm is a good gun that will never let you down.

ARGO: Sorry my friend, in this case that's not exactly corrct. The reason you see people taking out the little guys goes all the way back to early Beta days with the Leos. You may not think much of those pipsqueaks but you forget that where ever scouts go, Arty death rain follows not to mention they are also allowing your enemy to see your positions and direction. There is an old saying "If you cannot see, you cannot fight". Destroying the scouts should always be 1st priority unless your going on a mad base rush.

ARGO: Yes, Yes it is...Do not move unless you need to once your bedded down. Also if your into TDs you will definately want to always train ALL your crew on Camo first as well as your crew being 100% and grab yourself a camo net and you will be deadly.

Vallter: Great idea. We will start a similar event soon, I think.

ARGO: Although Brock7142's post is a bit on the "angry" side, He is right. As a seasoned player and a proud sniper myself it is that brief moment of indecision atop the hill that allows me and my fellow TDs / Arty / Tanks to turn that hill into a very amusing Tank junkyard. It can also be said on the Malnovka "campnovka" map that those heros who run up the hill "on both sides" then sit up there at the church only invite quick death and an embarassing fail. If your going to go either go all the way or don't go at all because no one in their right mind is going to run up those hills when your outnumbered and outguned to save you when you deciede time and time again it is a proven bad idea to do.
Quick tank poem regarding this:
You can't back the attack by sitting on back or running the hill halfway. So be the man and stick to the plan and buy tanks with the credits you save!
